CK National Anthem

First off, I would like to start by saying I do recognize Kaepernich's right to sit during the National Anthem. Do I think it's right? No. Does it piss me off as an American? Yes. Kaepernich plays for the National Football League, an American founded corporation. Every year he is praised by white fans, plays under a white coach, and gets a check, that is worth millions, signed by a white owner. The 49ers following is predominately white, they pay his checks by going to the games, wearing his apparel, and buying from his endorsed companies. I'll be the first to admit that America isn't perfect by any means, but if he thinks that it is so oppressing maybe he should use his multi-million dollar check, get himself a plane ticket, and fly on over to the Middle East to see and witness real oppression. Also, a lot of blame in black or Hispanic communities is put on white people, even though in all reality, people should take responsibility for their own actions in their own communities. Both of his parents are white, after his black parents left him. Now, I'm not racist by any means, I don't care what color you are, you could be white, black, brown, or green, I think that everyone should be treated equally, but I can tell you one thing, sitting down during the National Anthem isn't going to benefit anyone. All types of races serve in the US military, giving him the right to sit down, so now not only are you "standing up to white oppression" but he is also disrespecting all races that serve. Maybe he should get off his butt and actually go out and do something to help the "oppression" but for now, he better get comfortable on that bench because he'll be sitting on it all season long.

To be completely honest I don't really know what psychology is and that is definitely something that I want (need) to find out. Also, I would like to find out what types of careers go with this field of study and why it's needed. I want to know why people think that this is an important subject to teach to high school kids and what can we gain from becoming more knowledgeable about this subject. I think that this will be a very interesting course and I'm excited to get into the meat of it. When I first heard that we were taking this class I was hoping that it would teach me mind games that I could use on my brother and the rest of my family. Even though the more I hear about what we'll be learning makes me feel like I won't be studying those types of things. I think that we'll be learning about emotions and brain reactions, which I find very interesting. Our teacher is very interested in this field and is excited to teach us this subject which usually makes everything better, easier to learn, and a lot more interesting. The teachers enthusiasm usually rubs off on the students that he/she is teaching. That's kind of interesting to think about if you ask me, how attitude can rub off on others around you. Maybe that will be in one of our psychology lessons.
